i-mate JASJAM Details Leaked
i-mate certainly wasn't going to wait around while O2 got all the attention yesterday. According to information posted at On the Go Solutions, the HTC Hermes will be introduced by i-mate as the JASJAM with the following specs: a 300MHz CPU, 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM, a 2.1-megapixel camera, quad-band GSM/GPRS/UMTS/HSDPA support, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, and Windows Mobile 5.0. Obviously, nothing is final at this stage, so we'll keep our eyes open for some concrete evidence in the weeks to come.

Interesting they talk about a 300 mhz processor and HSDPA, while O2 says it will have a 400 mhz processor and no HSDPA, just UMTS.

I would be very curious to see what other OEM's (if any) pick up that O2 version of the Hermes.

And for us on T-Mobile US - EDGE or no EDGE?

I really have issues with the slower CPUs; I have an Atom and WM5 on it crawls compared to my Qtek S100 running WM2003 because of the difference in the memory type and usage. I have to figure that a 300Mhz CPU is going to perform even slower.

Also the 300 MHz Samsung CPU is pretty good in terms of speed

Also, the picture on the "On The Go" website is of the older pre-production version before they added the extra keys above the call and hang-up buttons

Can't speak to the processor speed, though the extra 100MHz will have me hanging on for the O2 version (oh, please, please puh-lease let O2 UK carry them), but I think the key here is 'HSDPA support.' Call me cynical, but that sounds like marketing speak: A bit like the 'Windows Mobile 5 supports push email' messages we were getting when that was first launched. In other words, 'it supports HSDPA, but that won't actually work until the ROM upgrade which we will roll out (if and) when we are good and ready.'
Still, lots of goodness in the package and the promise of more to come sounds pretty good to me.

I'm disappointed that the latest HTC devices come with microSD slots. The highest capacity microSD cards at the moment is only 1GB. Does using microSD as apposed to SD really save that much room? Having a 4GB SD card in the device makes it a lot more useful as well as the possiblity of using SDIO cards. This would be my next device if it had a SD slot. Just bought a 4GB SD card for my Blue Angel and I am reluctant to put it aside.
